I never believed that Mona was a self portrait and there has been some talk about Mona being a man not a woman but that is not going to sit well around here.

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a 16th-century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci during the Renaissance in Florence, Italy.
